CVE-2017-5839 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade Ubuntu:14.04 gst-plugins-base1.0 to version 1.2.4-1~ubuntu2.1 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream gst-plugins-base1.0 package and not the gst-plugins-base1.0 package as distributed by Ubuntu.
See How to fix? for Ubuntu:14.04 relevant fixed versions and status.
The gst_riff_create_audio_caps function in gst-libs/gst/riff/riff-media.c in gst-plugins-base in GStreamer before 1.10.3 does not properly limit recursion, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (stack overflow and crash) via vectors involving nested WAVEFORMATEX.
